C. W. Anderson
Cartoonist C. W. Anderson had two cartoons in the “Artists and Models†chapter in Modern Arf. I wish I could have had room for more. Plus, I talked about how Anderson switched styles mid-career and went from beautiful pencil work to a delightlful scribbly ink technique. But, again, I didn’t have space to show that. This is the kind of thing the blog is gonna be great for…
Anderson’s cartoon as reproduced in Arf…
“Why, Mr. Anderson—What’s gotten into you!”

The artist later re-did the cartoon in his scribbly, scrumbly approach, dropping his own name from the caption. Maybe it was to protect the guilty as by all accounts Anderson lived the wild bohemian life of his cartoons…
And here’s another Anderson cartoon for your viewing pleasure…
